Sixth-ranked Notre Dame finally found out what the kickoff time will be for its regular-season finale at USC next Saturday.

Talk about taking it one game at a time.

After exercising a six-day option, TV execs decided shortly after ND’s 45-14 trouncing of No. 19 Army on Saturday night at Yankee Stadium in The Bronx that another primetime game wasn’t the way to go for the Irish (10-1).

Instead, ND-USC will kick off at 3:30 p.m. EST at the LA Memorial Coliseum next Saturday. CBS will have the telecast.

The Trojans, playing as members of the Big Ten this season for the first time, are 6-5 overall after rallying past fellow Big Ten newcomer UCLA, 19-13, on Saturday night.

On the line for Notre Dame will be a berth in the College Football Playoff and quite likely a chance to host a first-round home game in the 12-team format on Dec. 20 or 21.
